Hello there,
I am new to DownToMeet and am looking for some guidance on how to make the most out of this platform to build genuine connections with people who share similar interests. I have already explored a few meetups and events; but I feel like I am not fully tapping into the potential of the platform.
I have found a few events related to these interests; but I am struggling to find ways to connect on a deeper level with others who attend these events. I would love to hear from anyone who has successfully used DownToMeet to form lasting friendships or professional relationships.
How do you approach making meaningful connections at meetups? Are there particular strategies or conversation starters that have worked well for you? 
What tips do you have for following up after an event? I want to ensure that my efforts to connect with people don’t end after the event but instead lead to ongoing interactions.
Also, I have gone through this post; https://forum.downtomeet.com/t/how-to-move-your-meetup-group-from-other-platforms-to-downtomeet-power-apps/ which definitely helped me out lot.
Are there any features on DownToMeet that you find particularly useful for fostering connections? I want to ensure I am utilizing all available tools and options.
Thanks in advance for your help and assistance.
